I only have one-a brown rolled leather; but lots and lots of scarves for every holiday! I call them my "pretties"! Some even have sparkles on them. ;-))

2. What kind of food do you eat?
Lately it has been Solid Gold Hund'N'Floken mixed with something tasty, but don't make it too wet! I prefer the crunchiness! Mostly it gets mixed with whatever mommy & daddy had for dinner. I like the meat and veggies, too.

3. What are your favorite treats?
Raw veggies and fruit really get me going! Frozen broccoli?? Yahoo!! Apple slices!! Watermelon! Oh, boy!! Oh, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce (with a touch of dressing!!). Biscuits are always good, too.....

Na-Na Na Na-Na!!!

I took Remi's diary and he couldn't find it! That is, until today! Whatever.

So, do I have to catch you up on happenings here? I can't say that too much has happened.

Remi & I had our teeth cleaned. They look mahvelous! All shiny & white. We went to U of P. They love us there. I got a manicure while I was asleep, too! It was like a day at the spa.

Mommy & Daddy went away so Remi, the parrot & me stayed at our human sister's home. It was OK, I guess. She has four little people and didn't have time to give us the lovin's Mommy & Daddy do. I missed them so much. I was so very happy to be home and sleep in Mommy & Daddy's bed instead of the crate with Remi. Don't get me wrong! I really luv my brudder, but I couldn't stretch out and neither could he.

Now the little humans are spending time here. I hope they go home soon. They make me tired. On the other hand (or paw), they do seem to drop good food. I help Mommy, so I pick it up for her. And dispose of it!! BOL French toast is very tasty.

Uh-oh! Remi's calling me! I have to go help. Bark at you soon.

Love

Minna

"Tag-you're it!!

Here are the rules:

Each player needs to tell seven random facts about themselves. Tagged dogs must post the rules in their diary and their 7 facts. Then choose 7 pups to tag and list their names. Let them know by pawmail or rosette that they have been tagged and to read your diary for the instructions on how to play.

Thank you Duchess!

1. I like pickled beets---a LOT!!

2. I don't like thunder & lightning---I go hide w-a-y back in Mommy's closet

3. I like to 'dance' with my human cousin, Jake

4. My Daddy gives me the very best belly rubs when I ask him to. I sit next to him and pat-pat-pat his arm! He knows what I want!

5. Sometimes when humans talk to me, the only thing I do is wiggle my duster (tail) so they know I heard them. I've been known to do that even with my eyes closed!!

6. I like to sniff the parrots' butt (and she lets me!)

7. I take Remi's toys from him when I think he's played enough--but I don't play with them! I just take them.

I am tagging:

Karma
Chanel
Maile
Ghirardelli "Delli"
Sophie
Lexus
Penny Marshall

This has been a lot of fun! Tag---you're it!!!

The doctors' report!

Hi everybody!
So sorry I haven't scribbled in my diary sooner, but I got sidetracked! Anyway, the doctor called our house. Daddy got the call. She said my B-L-O-O-D (very precious stuff, you know?) and my pee-pee (not so precious!) was A-OK! So,it's back to the drawing board. At least, that's what Mommy said. I have no idea what they're going to draw. I know I seem to only like certain things (like human food), but apparently that's not so good for me. Daddy told the doctor that Mommy had got the Burger King yummies for us. Doc wasn't too happy. But you know what? That was the VERY FIRST time Mommy ever did that!!! Mommy wasn't too happy Daddy told on her. :-(( My human sister told Mommy she shouldn't have given us the fries! Oh, well. It's over & done now! (but they were tasty!)
Tonight Remi & I had some broiled talapia in our dinner. It was pretty good. We had some asparagus, too. It was sooooooo yummy---first of the season. I love it! (Raw or cooked-either way, it's so good) I do so love fresh veggies and fruit. Do you think maybe that's why I lost weight? We will have to figure out what's going on with me. Mommy said she'd like to lose one tenth of her weight!! BOL!
Daddy has some pudding-vanilla. Maybe he will share with me? I hope so. I have to go ask him.
Bye-bye for now.
Miss Minna

Me-it's all about Me!

Hello friends!

Mommy took me to our regular doctor today. (not to the U. of P.) I've just not felt like eating lately-at least my poodle (dog) food. I don't really feel bad, but I've lost four pounds since November. That doesn't sound like a lot, but since I only weigh 45 lbs., four pounds is one-tenth of my total weight!! Yikes!! The doctor checked me really good. Then they took some of my very precious B-L-O-O-D....oooooooooooooh.....They're going to look at it and see if it tells them something. I had to pee in a cup, too. That was different. I'll let y'all know what they find. I'm curious too. Mommy stopped at Burger King on the way home & got a Kid's meal for me & Remi ('cause we're her 'kids'--ya know?) I ate that all up. Go figure......

Remi wants me to go outside with him. He said he smelled something over near the hose. I'd better go check it out. He's not too good at that kind of stuff.

I'll woofie at ya later.

Buh-bye,

Miss Minna

IT"S SPRINGTIME!!!

Wow!
Springtime is FINALLY here. Remi was so right. It came just when he said it would. My big brother - he is SO smart. That's why I love him.
I feel like a Spring lamb. Mommy gave me & Remi new hair cuts. We're all naked 'cept for bracelets on our hands and feet, a pom-pom on our tails (feather duster as we like to call them!) and a nice top-knot on our pretty heads. Mommy said in the Kalstone book (that's her hair-do Bible!) it's called a San Tropez Cut. Whatever it is, I like it. We look good no matter what.
I'm also out of season/heat now and I feel so much better. It makes me soooo moody. And wearing those panties? I'm pretty good about it, but arrgh! I really hate them. No more now until October -- at least I think that's what Mommy said.
So, today is Easter. A blessed, Happy day for all. We had company at our home. Our human sister and her hubby and her pups came to have dinner with Mommy & Daddy & me & Remi. We had ham and goodness knows what else. I do so like the pickled beets. There was brocoli and sweet potatoes and mac'n'cheese and deviled eggs and rolls and fresh pineapple and potato salad and carrots (they were really good) and ???? There was just so much. Remi & I only had a little ham and brocoli mixed in our dinner. :-( It all smelled so good, but we're really not allowed to eat all that stuff. We just get little "tastes". That's how I know I LOVE pickled beets! Did you ever try them?? You should. Our human brother and his wife & pups are coming to visit tomorrow. I wonder if we will have the same stuff all over again? It would be OK with me. What do you think?

I'm rather tired from playing with the kids (oh, I mean pups) so I think I'll go potty and just go nitey-nite.

Woof at everyone again soon.

Love,

Miss Minna

Diary of the Day!!

Oh my goodness!! I am so sorry. I was so overwhelmed! On Wednesday, March 12, 2008 I was named the Dogster Diary of the Day!!!!! So many congratulations-----so many pup pal invitations. My head was spinning!

Now that I have calmed down, I need to thank Dogster and all my new friends for making my day so woofderful! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!

Fondly,
Miss Minna

Diary of the Day!!!!

O M G !!!!

I am soooooooo happy! I got picked for Diary of the Day today! I want to thank my producer, my director, my make-up people, my cook, my entertainment director, my personal trainer, my mom, my dad and especially my woofderful brother, Remi! Without all these people in my life, I wouldn't have anything to write about.

I have so many woofderful new friends because of this honor. It has opened up new windows of fun for me & Remi. I love each and every one of you.

Do you think that speech would work for the Oscars? I wonder if I could ever make it. Well, a Princess can dream, too!

I am so exhausted from today's festivities. I think I'll go up to bed a catch some zzz's. Then around 3 or 4 I'll wake up mommy so I can go pee. She grumbles when I do that. I dunno why. If ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I don't grumble when she goes......... I'll never understand humans. Do I need to?

G'night

Miss Minna

Phew!!

Hi all!
How's things shakin'? Life is good in Delaware! Ten more days until Spring.
It was very windy here two days ago. Things outside were making noises that I didn't know. I had a difficult time resting. But it's much quieter out now! I think I'll ask Mommy if Remi & I can go outside. Woof at ya later!
